I've been playing Hyrule Warriors and thinking about the way the game uses standard enemies, which don't pose a threat, as a way of guiding the player to their goals. A lot of platformers use small collectibles to do the same thing, and even games like Dark Souls do it more subtly with item placements to tell a player if they've visited somewhere before. What are some of the coolest ways you've seen games do this?

 Pac-Man CE DX. It's all about figuring out optimal paths on the fly, and the game has a few different ways to quickly signal to players where to go: the dots, the the ghosts that follow you, and the fruit. It has to convey a lot of information in a fast and simple way, and it pulls it off well. It's funny that after 40 years of video games a lot of developers still can't figure things like this out.

The Kins posted:the developers devised a "heirarchy of goals" when designing the world, so that while going from one important goal to another you'd keep getting tempted to go off course
